Fewer joints means fewer leak points and less ongoing gutter maintenance
When repairs stop making sense, full gutter replacement protects your home from the ground up.
The Gutterman is a family-owned gutter contractor helping Fort Wayne homeowners replace worn-out systems with durable, properly sized seamless gutters.
Old gutters don’t fail all at once. They sag a little more each year, pull away from the fascia, and develop small leaks that slowly turn into bigger problems for your siding, foundation, and landscaping.
For a lot of homes around Fort Wayne, especially older properties near the historic West Central and Forest Park neighborhoods, the original gutters have simply reached the end of their useful life. Rust, chalky aluminum, and cracked seams are signs that patch repairs won’t hold much longer.
As a local gutter company, we help you figure out whether repair or full gutter replacement is the smarter investment. Sometimes a section of downspout repair or a sagging gutter repair solves the problem. Other times, replacing the whole system with seamless gutters is the only way to stop the cycle of leaks and callbacks.
Replacing old sectional gutters with seamless gutter installation gives your home a system built specifically for its roofline, cut on-site to fit without the seams that cause most leaks.
Homeowners throughout Allen County choose full gutter replacement over repeated repairs for reasons that go beyond appearance.
We treat every gutter replacement like it’s our own house. That means clear communication, careful removal, and a system built to outlast the one it’s replacing.
Here’s what to expect when you schedule a project with our team.
Fort Wayne winters bring ice, heavy spring rain, and plenty of falling leaves from the mature trees found throughout neighborhoods like Aboite and Coventry. Your replacement gutters need to handle all of it.
We typically install heavy-gauge aluminum seamless gutters, sized 5-inch or 6-inch depending on your roof’s square footage and pitch. Larger homes or steep rooflines often benefit from 6-inch gutters paired with oversized downspouts to handle higher water volume during spring storms.
Signs it’s time to replace rather than repair include visible rust-through, gutters pulling away from the fascia in multiple spots, pooling water after every rain, and seams that have failed more than once. If you’re seeing any of these, a gutter contractor visit is worth scheduling before the next big storm.
Choosing the right gutter company matters, because a poorly installed system creates the same problems all over again within a few years.
